Teen paralysed falling from 60mph van when ex kidnapped her finally hugs mum

A teenage girl who was left paralysed when she fell from a van at 60mph while being kidnapped by her boyfriend has finally hugged her mum again for the first time. Nikki Lynn has been hugging daughter Angel every day since she was injured - but had no response.

Now Nikki says that, two weeks ago, as she hugged her daughter Angel’s right arm reach around her back in return; her hand lightly pressed her back, then move to stroke her hair, reports The Mirror. Nikki, 47, said: "She just put her hand straight around my back and started tapping me,” recalls 47-year-old Nikki, exhausted and barely believing.

“She didn’t hug much before, she was a typical teenager, but she would give you a hug if you were upset. It’s very special to have that hug now.”
